The LHSAA has placed the John Ehret coach Corey Lambert under administrative probation for year and fined the school $250 in light of two self-reported rules violation regarding out-of-season practices and meetings.

Lambert also will be prohibited from coaching Aug. 29 at the Westbank Optimist Club Jamboree and is limited to eight spring practices instead of the allotted 10.

Rule 4.1.3 pertains to unapproved out-of-season meetings with current or potential players, including tryouts, informal workouts or classroom sessions.

Per the LHSAA handbook:

"Subject to the approval of the school principal, a coach may have out-of-season organization meetings with his/her players or potential players. Other than these organizational meetings, a coach shall not organize, supervise, administer, or direct out-of-season practices, meetings, or gatherings of student athletes in the school. This includes: tryouts, informal workouts in a particular sport, and classroom sessions in a particular sport."

Rule 4.1.6 deems the violation of such rules punishable by administrative, disciplinary or restrictive probation, suspensions of the school or sport and a fine upwards of $500.

LHSAA Executive Director Kenny Henderson ruled in favor of of a one-year administrative probational period for Lambert, retroactive to May 8, 2014, that lasts through May 8, 2015. The school was also fined $250 -- not the maximum of $500 -- because Lambert self-reported the violation.

Under Rule 5.12, Lambert must attend the next available LHSAA Handbook Certification class or enroll in an Online Fundamentals of Coaching course.
